A car accident in Fort Recovery can upend your life in seconds. Medical bills pile up, you can't work, and the insurance company is already working to minimize your claim. The Henry Law Firm fights to make sure the responsible party pays the full cost — not just what the insurer offers.
You're Paying for Someone Else's Mistake
You did nothing wrong — yet now you're the one dealing with emergency room visits, follow-up appointments, missed work, and the stress of an insurance claim. The at-fault driver's insurer wants to close your case fast and cheap. Without an attorney, most victims settle for a fraction of what their case is actually worth.

Your Legal Rights Under Ohio Law
Ohio's comparative negligence law (Ohio Revised Code § 2315.33) allows you to recover compensation even if you bear some responsibility, as long as your fault doesn't exceed 50%. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years. Don't delay — contact a Fort Recovery attorney today.
Compensation Available
- Medical expenses — emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, ongoing treatment
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Ohio requires drivers to carry minimum liability insurance of $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $25,000 for property damage. In serious accidents, these minimums are often inadequate. The Henry Law Firm explores every available source of compensation — including the at-fault driver's personal assets and your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage.
